Ex-Waterbury mayor takes child-sex abuse case to Supreme Court again

Giordano is challenging a decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York in June to dismiss his request to set aside or correct his sentence. Giordano said that the prison sentence is unconstitutional and that his lawyer during his 2003 trial, Andrew Bowman, made mistakes, including not informing him of plea bargains offered by prosecutors.
